Women Writers in History:
Toward a New Understanding of European Literary Culture

On Monday, September 19, from 10.15 till 18.00 a guest lecture and a seminar were held within the framework of COST action IS0901 “Women Writers in History. Toward a New Understanding of European Literary Culture”. The guest lecture was open to everyone; the seminar, including lunch, required registration.

The aim of this COST action is to lay the groundwork for a new history of European women’s participation in the literary field of the centuries before 1900. What was these women’s influence? Which active roles did they play as authors and readers in the broadest sense of the word, i.e. including their roles as transcribers, translators, mediators and educators? What happened to them when they fell into the hands of 19th-century canonizers? How is their disappearance from literary history to be explained?

The action will further develop the database WomenWriters (http://www.databasewomenwriters.nl/) into a broad research infrastructure, allowing researchers to stock and manipulate data concerning the contemporary reception of women’s writing, and to apply different research models to these data.

Particular attention will be paid to women’s participation in transnational cultural dynamics and to the overlooked role of “smaller”, less internationally known literatures within the larger European context. This interdisciplinary research will lead to a new way of looking at Europe’s literary past – male and female –, which also implies a different perspective on Europe’s present.
